N3K-C3164Q-40GE is the Nexus 3164Q, 64 QSFP+ ports, 2RU switch. The Cisco Nexus 3164Q Switch is an ultra-high density, power efficient, 10/40-Gbps switch designed for the data center. This compact, two-rack-unit (2RU) model offers wire-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching on all ports. It runs the enhanced version of the Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, that also supports Nexus 9000 series switches. It provides customer with comprehensive features while simplifying image management. The rich programmability features enable organizations to run today's applications while also being prepared for the demanding and changing application needs such as big data, cloud, and virtualization.

The Cisco Nexus N3K-C3164Q-40GE provides the following main benefits:
(1) The QSFP28 port can be configured to work as 4 x 25-Gbps ports, offering deployment flexibility, with up to a maximum of 128 x 25-Gbps ports.
(2) Both fiber and copper cabling solutions are available for 10-, 25-, 40-, 50-, and 100-Gbps connectivity, including active optical cable (AOC) and direct-attached cable (DAC).
(1) Virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multipathing through the elimination of the Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully utilized bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models.
(2) The 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing enables the use of Layer 3 fat-tree designs. This feature allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption.
(3) Advanced reboot capabilities include hot and cold patching and fast reboot capabilities.
(4) The switch uses hot-swappable power-supply units (PSUs) and fans.
(1) Power-on auto-provisioning (POAP) enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing provisioning time.
(2) Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Python scripting enable automation and remote operations in the data center.
(3) Advanced buffer monitoring reports real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns.
(4) EtherAnalyzer is a built-in packet analyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic and is based on the popular Wireshark open-source network protocol analyzer.
(5) Complete Layer 3 unicast and multicast routing protocol suites are supported, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM), Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
